1987

Creation – LP, Baga Style 002

Creation – Cassette, Baga Style

A limited run of cassettes, sold at live shows.

Updated version

For the updated version four new songs were recorded at three different 24 track studios in Los Angeles: Closer Now, Pieces Of Africa, No Sleep Tonight and a new version of Galang. The new songs replaced the dub versions on the original LP and cassette. The lineup of musicians was the same as the original LP version, but two background singers were added, Mashariki Ramey and Marina Bambino.

1988

Creation – LP, Celluloid/Moving Target MT 018

The first Celluloid/Moving Target release was a rush job with an updated back cover photo but the original LP track list (though the LP labels list the correct tracks), incorrect and missing credits, and for some reason the cover colors are red, gold and…blue?

Creation – CD (2nd version), Celluloid/Moving Target MTCD 018

1989

Creation – CD (3rd version), Celluloid/Moving Target MTCD 018

Two sided folding Celluloid catalog cover insert (child’s hand prints replaced with adult on the front cover, Celluloid logo and barcode added to the rear cover, Pipeline logo removed)
Same disc matrix IDs as previous version (meaning the actual disc is from the same batch)

Remastered, expanded version

In 1999 Creation got the deluxe treatment, with a remaster and the inclusion of all eight studio tracks plus the three dubs from the original LP (the only thing missing is the original version of Galang).
